Answer:

  • The scale of the map is 1 : 34848

---------------------------------

Real distance is 4.4 miles and on the map it is 8 inches.

The scale is:

  • 8 in : 4.4 miles =                                  Divide both sides by 8
  • 1 in : 0.55 miles

or

  • 1 in : 0.55 * 63360 in =                       Convert 1 mile = 63360 inches
  • 1 : 34848
